For daring to grant audience to opposition political parties, all first class emirs in Borno state risk loosing their seats, as Governor Kashim Shettima has vowed to sanction all traditional rulers who refuse to support the APC.

*Gov Kashim Shettima
Speaking at the palace of the emir of Shani, Alhaji Nasiru Shettima Mailafiya on Friday, the Governor frowned at a situation where emirs grant audience to opposition political parties, especially the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Muhammad Imam and former Governor of the state, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, who were given a heroic welcome in the area recently.
Gov Shettima told the emir that he will dethrone any traditional ruler who hobnobs with the opposition as his re-election bid is a do or die affair, and he will not take lightly to any act of sabotage, especially from the traditional institution.
He queried the emir of Shani for receiving the PDP campaign team in his palace, during it’s recent campaign tour of the area, stressing that the emir should bear in mind that he has the powers to do or undo.
Shettima was apparently irked by the cold reception he received in the area, which he attributed to the emir’s sympathy for the PDP.
But the emir, His Royal Highness, Alhaji Nairu Shettima Mailafiya did not take the threat lying low, as he told Governor Shettima to his face that as a father, he is under obligation to receive all manner of people, including people of different political persuasions.
He maintained that he has no sympathy for any political party, but is merely living up to his oath of office by being fair and just to all peole, stressing that the traditional institution should not be dragged into unnecessary political controversies, hence his open door policy.
Alhaji Nasiru reminded Governor Shettima that part of his charges upon him during the presentation of his staff of office was to carry everybody along and to be fair and just in his dealings with people.
The Governor who departed Shani in annoyance is expected to arrive Biu, another potentially hostile reception

The armies of Niger and Chad have launched a “ground and air” offensive against the Boko Haram armed group in northeastern Nigeria, a source from the Niger government said.
“An offensive is under way against Boko Haram,” the source told AFP news agency. “Very early [on Sunday] morning, the troops from Niger and Chad began an offensive against Boko Haram… in the area of Bosso and near to Diram.”
A resident of Diffa, located in Niger near the Nigerian border, told AFP he saw troops headed toward the frontier early Sunday followed by the sounds of heavy arms fire.
“After some time, the detonations grew further away, an apparent sign that the troops were moving inside Nigeria,” he said.
Privately owned radio station Anfani, based in Diffa, reported more than 200 vehicles, including those equipped with machine guns as well as tanks, ambulances, water tankers and transport trucks, in a convoy moving toward the Nigerian border.
It also reported that aircraft had targeted Boko Haram positions on Saturday and early Sunday.
An aid worker told AFP heavy arms fire was coming from the direction of the Doutchi bridge connecting Niger to Nigeria on Sunday morning.
The offensive comes after the African Union on Friday endorsed the creation of a regional force of up to 10,000 men to join the fight against the group which on Saturday pledged allegiance to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
The force, the idea for which was adopted at an AU summit in January, will be based in Chad’s capital N’Djamena, the pan-African bloc’s Peace and Security Council said.
It will be mandated “to prevent the spread of Boko Haram activities and other terrorist groups” and “eradicate their presence”, the body agreed in a meeting earlier week.
Diplomats said Chad, Nigeria, Cameroon, Niger and Benin had committed to providing troops, who would “operate freely” in a still-undefined region.
On Saturday, at least 51 people were killed and more than 100 injured in three bombingsin the northeastern Nigerian town of Maiduguri.
Saturday’s triple blasts were the worst attack on the city since suspected Boko Haram fighters failed in their bid to seize it at the end of January.

The Chief Pastorenuer in charge of re-election affairs has spoken again.

Thank God he is not releasing the gates of hell on anti-Jonathan supporters this time around.

I wonder if God has revealed to him the details of all the poor families and individuals that have contributed to his multi-billion empire.

God has spoken to Nigerians, we have listened and we will implement his wish.

Buhari is God's choice and Buhari will be president.

Show me where he said he will open gate of hell for anyone

A fo.ol will never understand what it means to have a fo.ol as a commander in chief. You should be worried at the stupidity that makes you celebrate an incompetent man as your savior.

See gullibility at its peak

VickJames:
Hahahahaha!

This was the exact thing I told the INEC official training us. Its quite funny that its revealing itself now. These card readers can fuel violence more than the normal ones we're using.

How can you explain to a man that registered in a polling unit that his thumb print cannot be identified or he's not supposed be in a polling unit? And you say the verification process will only span for 4hours. Some of these voters are touts and have low tolerance level.

I told him, if any tout just carry kitchen knife not to talk of gun, I go give am everything to thumb print on. I go even call am winner.

Better correct this mistake now before the D-day.

Prevention is better, cheaper, wiser, safer than cure

Lolz

Ucheosefoh:
Oboy see crowd this people pass one million infact sai Buhari the man of the people love by all, the evidence is there to see everywhere he goes he draw crowd. Check out the Kano campaign rally the crowd was so massive that they use Bonke's crusade pictures to give perfect illustration of the crowd in that rally because the camera can't capture all.

Lolz

OrlandoOwoh:
From what I watched on Channels, the problem in Kano State was just at its early stage. But as the exercise progressed, it was perfected. From the thread of Sincerenigerian yesterday, it was said that the failure of the machines was due to the ink and other colours that some northern women use for beautification. The challenge now before the progressives in Kano State and in fact all northern states, is for the various chapters of the APC to sensitize the electorate, especialky discouraging them from using the said beautification ink or substance in their fingers days before the election. On a lighter note now, during the APC rally in Ibadan, the South West coordinator and Governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola pleaded with men to abstain from sèx with their wives on the eves of the two election days. This is to ensure that the women have the stamina to file to vote.
Berem, entertain no fear. We can't reduce ourselves to the level of Fani-Kayode, Fayose and Metuh.

.....
Ignorance will kill you guys but I don't expect APC handlers to be lyk u

Ink doesn't affect finger printing capture expect itz as thick as emulsion
Jega equipment isn't hi-tech
D same way their laptops was getting malwares during registration

LFJ:
See what Jonathan reduce the office of the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to. Another four years to this man will be disastrous.

I marvel at ur stupidity

sincerenigerian:
Werey ewure! If you have any brain left, out of all states that the exercise took place, there was a hitch in Kano alone and the hitch is fixable. By just passing necessary information to people in the North through BBC Hausa and other means of mass media, the hitch will be fixed completely. All INEC needs to do is to broadcast to women in the North to clean any form of ink on their thumbs before coming to vote. Shikenan.

Goat, what says you now?

What I have been trying to tell u since God knows when is that a hi-tech card reader will read a tattoo designs unless itz as thick as emulsion or ur fingers got another ish
Ogo gan ooo

The Peoples Democratic Party has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission to tell Nigerians the outcome of Saturday’s testing of Card Readers.

It nevertheless says it has noted series of complains from Nigerians regarding reported lapses experienced in the testing of both the Permanent Voters Cards and the Card Readers by the commission.

PDP National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Olisa Metuh, in a statement on Saturday said the worrisome fallout from the test “vindicates earlier widespread calls by stakeholders that the card readers should be thoroughly tested to ascertain their workability for free, fair and credible elections before being deployed for the actual polls.

Metuh expressed worry over the alleged reported lapses which he said included but “not limited to non-verification of voters’ fingerprints even after authenticating their PVCs, slow accreditation process as a result of poor internet server operations in some locations, and apparent inadequate knowledge of the card readers by both INEC officials and voters.

“Our response to the emerging problems and challenges from Saturday’s testing of the card reader is ‘RES IPSA LOQUITOR’- the fact speak for itself. The PDP and indeed all well-meaning Nigerians await INEC’s official response and or its final decision after such defining challenges,” he said.

He restated that INEC must realise that Nigerians expect nothing short of error-free and transparent process for credible elections come March 28 and April 11.

Get a HD camera
Get into the front lines

sincerenigerian:
Who is this goat? I know how to deal with goat like you. 100% success in lagos, Ekiti and Delta State so far. Common sense should tell you there should be no cause for alarm with what happened in Kano today. It was only a situation where women with ink on their thumbs that had problem during the exercise.

Ewure jati jati.

Oponu akin dindinrin
Xo Ekiti and lagos suppose to be okay while kano should be vice versa

amakaobiemeka:
This fool has lost his place with oriseJET4, i thought he still hold the keys of hell, now he wants to distance himself 4rm pdp, after collecting bribe and joining the dirty game. Now he talks of God delivering us frm our present bad LEADERSHIP

I don't know why pple lyk u remain daft
Show me where he said that and I will show the. Full video of the service where idiotic and stupidity ridden sycophants picked "key to hell"

sincerenigerian:
There are reports of 60% success and 40% failure in the mock election that took place in Kano today. Reports that came in so far from Lagos and Delta have shown that it was an 100% success recorded in the southern states.

Here is the reason why 40% could not get their thumbs verified by the card reader in Kano State today:

The potential voters who couldn't get their thumbs verified were as a result of their hand in ink as shown below.

Why displaying gross stupidity
If Jega has actually purchased the best device the set of pple the card reader won't be able to read
Are pple with dead cell, damaged fingers ridges, paint as thick as emulsion and those dat didn't reg

There is no way pple won't be disenfranchised if card reader is used

otr1:
If they registered with the same fingers, why should it be difficult to get verified using these same fingers?

Daz why I said inec aren't using d best equipment

Anthony20:
I am REALLY SURPRISED at the CALIBER OF PEOPLE that have befall this platform. So SORRY to say some are either VERY LOW or have LOST sense of fair presentation and judgement due to sentiments.
What score do you need to pass any test, exams or evaluation?
ACROSS the GLOBE IT IS 50 percent (50%). Any program that succeeds above 50 percent-50% is a POSITIVE SUCCESS. Please PDP and its cohort
Leave JEGA alone!
Leave PVCs alone
Leave INEC alone Please go and do your home work.
NIGERIA MUST MOVE FORWARD.
I am in Kano and the EXERCISE was a success. Nigeria is braking away from its captors please stand up and be COUNTED. DO NOT STOP it otherwise see the PICS.

What a shame !!!

AreaFada2:
.

This your analysis is TOO difficult for most people. There's always massive Maths failure in WASCE.

People opening their buccal cavity to say 60% is a pass, good 3 weeks after February 14th.

Did Fulani people start doing Henna painting 3 weeks ago? Why was such not anticipated and corrected over past 4 years?

If care is not taken, we would be sleepwalking into great disaster.

Problems that break up countries usually begin small.

intact issues that when u are told u will be lyk
"Just this"

otr1:
INEC can not be held responsible if some people could not be verified because of broken finger ridges.
We should be talking about improving on the method by 2019.

I don't agree with u
When did inec start making decision without putting common man into considerations
How can u expect some1 that farm with crude tool for yrs not to have problems with his finger print

I knw 80yrs even 90 that travel abroad,reg with dia finger print without hitch

If d card reader is truly hi-tech d only types of finger it won't recognized
Are
Fingers with death cell
Fingers with paint as thick as emulsion

billyG:
Some ppl hastily comment as if dia brain is in idle mode,frm d narative d card readers are working effectively,d problem is with women who painted dia fingers,it was a success in other state,pdp need 2 sensitise kano woman to clean dia hands inorder 2 vote,kano been swing state.

Is it all d 40% that is caused by d painting
If u wanna use tech use hi-tech dis yr isnt a joke

What are we going to expect when pressure is on this machine

A very big disaster indeed!
Now, the card reader project will amount to wasted resources.
Why didn't INEC conduct Quality Assurance test before bulk production/purchase?
This brings us to question, "what's the usefulness of Standard Organisation of Nigeria(SON)?"

They are there for there-ing sake

Once upon a time when I love the party PDP but now d sound so foolish and confused. The don't sound like champs 2 me imagine this kind of talk like kids. Imagine talks like.'
